Method

Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Grind garlic, ginger, chillies, and sugar to a paste, then mix with lime juice and fish sauce.

Fry rolls in batches until golden brown and hot inside.

Heat oil in a heavy pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and browns.

Serve spring rolls on a bed of watercress with both dipping sauces.

Brush a wrapper with beaten egg, fill with shrimp mixture, and roll tightly like a cigar.

Stir in chilli, coriander, and white pepper, adding palm sugar if the mixture is too sharp.

Whisk tamarind paste, soy sauce, and sake together, then stir into the shrimp mixture.

Mix shrimps, beansprouts, lemongrass, and galangal in a bowl.
